The function of bacteria is to reproduce. Bacteria is a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. They are also the cause of human and animal diseases. Some bacteria, like those in the intestines are friendly and needed for digestion.

Bacteriophages are viruses that attach to the surface of bacteria and inject viral DNA into the bacteria. Each infected bacterial cell produces multiple copies of the virus which eventually burst from the bacterial cell, killing the host.
